  • How to compare single-end vs paired-end RNA-seq data?

    Hi all,

    I’d like to compare RNA-seq data of WT (single-end RNA-seq) vs KO strain(paired-end RNA-seq), as follows:

    wt 0hr 1hr 3hr (single-end)
    KO 0hr 1hr 3hr (paired-end)


    Since I’m interested in the differentially expressed genes during time course between wt and KO strains, I thought by using bedtools multicov option, I can compare these data.

    I used the following commands;

    bedtools multicov -s -bams wt_0hr.bam wt_1hr.bam wt_3hr.bam -bed gene.bed > wt0-1-3hr.txt
    bedtools multicov -s -bams KO_0hr.bam KO_1hr.bam KO_3hr.bam -p -bed gene.bed > KO0-1-3hr.txt

    (If options were not correct, please let me know.)

    My questions are...

    *How does bedtools multicov treat paired-end reads? I mean, if both ends of a paired-end read were mapped to the same gene in the BED file are they then counted once or twice?

    *If comparing same condition data (= same sample preparation method), is it OK to compare the read count calculated from bed tools multicov?(Is there any need of normalizing data, like FPKM/RPKM or something?)


    Thanks in advance.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
